  3. Home Births

    BETSRN replied to FutureNrse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would go for the hospital birth (homelike is wonderful) any time just for the reasons that were stated above. Even with a perfectly normal labor and birth, you never know what can happen in the...

  7. Career Switchers-Any Regrets?

    BETSRN replied to Carleigh's topic in Nursing Career

    PLEASE give your decision some more time and maybe look for a different position. You have not had nearly enough time to make a career decision so soon. You have not even had enough time to get your...

  8. C/S as a birth option vs need

    BETSRN replied to valene's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This scenario is a PERFECT example of why elective primary c/section should not be allowed. I'm sure docs don't tell these stories.

  9. 38 too old for school?

    BETSRN replied to akanarn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You are NOT too old at all. In fact the older students (I was one myself at 33) in my class were always the best students: probably because we wanted to be there and we were not as timid as the...

  10. The Know-It-All nurse

    BETSRN replied to BETSRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  12. C/S as a birth option vs need

    BETSRN replied to valene's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I, too, find this trend a scary one (although we have no docs who do this) although I can think of one of our women OB's who would love to ee that happen. I agree that women think a section is easier...

  13. Stirrups? WHY???

    BETSRN replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Until you are a nurse, you cannot understand how difficult it is to set a doc straight. Some of them have egos that are huge not to mention the idea that nurses are mindless handmaidens. Thank God...

  14. Stirrups? WHY???

    BETSRN replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, let it be known that stirrups do NOT have to be used at all (use the footplates or the squat bar as a foot rest). Try these things and you will see how easy is it. Secondly, the bed does NOT...

  15. Retired Police Officer

    BETSRN replied to bigal2117's topic in Florida Nursing

    Nursing salaries in the Northeast are the highest. New grads in the Greater Hartford, Connecticut area are making $50,000/year to start. It all depends on where you are and what specialty you are

  16. Home Births

    BETSRN replied to FutureNrse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    One CAN have a natural birth in a hospital (if you mean with no meds and no IV's). I know because I did it and I also work in a hospital where it is possible. I think homebirth is a wonderful option...

  19. Would like ur insight on my career plan

    BETSRN replied to miya's topic in Nursing Career

    Go to a day (meaning morning) program for your ADN. You said your mother works from 3pm on. You may have to bite the bullet and find some day care on occasion or for a couple of hors on your clinical...

  20. Tub VS Whirlpool in LDRP

    BETSRN replied to Marcia RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There's a good excuse! Babies don't breathe under water and they are in water before birth. I don't think that one will

  21. timing of newborn bath

    BETSRN replied to kyobnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We are an LDRP and we recover Mom and baby together (as long as all is well). Our focus is getting the baby to breast, getting Mom some food and watching her vitals and fundus. We do baby vitals q 1/2...

  22. Another question about mid wives

    BETSRN replied to stsdoc's topic in Ob/Gyn

  24. I was fired for refusing to give injections incorrectly!

    BETSRN replied to katlpn6's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It sounds as if you are lucky to be out of there! I would make lots of noise until they coprrect the sitaution and be truthful (at your next inteview) about why you were let go. They were taping...

    BETSRN replied to andreamae's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM
